Collect training levy with VAT so everyone pays

Article Abstract:

The construction industry has a good record on training. Its inherant conservatism and long-established apprenticeship structure have ensured training has continued throughout the industry irrespective of economic conditions. The industry has also fought successfully to retain the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) and the statutory training levy. This levy, however should be collected by the same agency that collects Value Added Tax, thus all will contribute to training and the CITB will become stronger.

The CITB needs to become a permanent, statutory body to organise and standardise training within the industry throughout the '90s.
